2 Mail Servers "Joe" <jbarber[ at ]barbercs.com> 01.07.2007 03:25:37 Can I have 2 mail servers using the same domain.com name? I need to have some users use POP3 mail b/c of laptops and offsite usage and others will just get mail from SBS2k3. It this is possible how do I setup the DNS and MX records and where at my server the isp or dyndns? THanks JB

Re: 2 Mail Servers "Henry Craven {SBS-MVP}" <sme[ at ]nevernever.lan> 01.07.2007 04:10:27 Why 2 mail servers ? You can use POP3 from the SBServer or far better: You can use Outlook Anywhere ( RPC over HTTP ) -- Henry Craven {SBS-MVP} "Joe" <jbarber[ at ]barbercs.com> wrote in message news:e3Q2$94uHHA.1948[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: 2 Mail Servers "Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP]" <kweilbacMVP[ at ]gte.net> 01.07.2007 14:58:14 Joe, once mail has been delivered to your SBS server, your remote laptops can access their email via POP3/IMAP4, just like they do to other web mail providers. The only "catch" is that the POP3 and IMAP4 services are disabled by default on SBS. Simply enable the proper service. I personally enable and use the IMAP4 service rather than the POP3 service. Virtually all cliemt mail software supports both IMAP and POP conections. Note: be sure you understand that when speaking about the IMAP and POP services, this is different from the POP3 connector in SBS. -- Kevin Weilbacher [SBS-MVP] "The days pass by so quickly now, the nights are seldom long" "Joe" <jbarber[ at ]barbercs.com> wrote in message news:e3Q2$94uHHA.1948[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: 2 Mail Servers "Cris Hanna [SBS-MVP]" <crisnospamhanna[ at ]computingnospampossibilities.net> 01.07.2007 21:01:29 As Henry and Kevin have pointed out, you can turn on the Pop3 Server or the IMAP server and as pointed out the best option is Outlook over HTTP and don't use either of those. Then its just as if you were in the office. Using the POP3 and IMAP solution, were you planning to have them reply or create new mail using the SBS server? If so that will require some additional configuration and potentially poses some risk Outlook over HTTP is the way to go -- Cris Hanna [SBS-MVP] ------------------------------ Please do not contact me directly, only respond in the Newsgroups MVPs do not work for Microsoft ------------------------------ Send via Windows Mail on Vista Ultimate connected to SBS 2003 R2 "Joe" <jbarber[ at ]barbercs.com> wrote in message news:e3Q2$94uHHA.1948[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
